816. Anas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Make your rows solid and close together, and keep your necks in line. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! I can see the Shaitân entering through the gaps in the rows as if they are small sheep." (Sahih)
815 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْمُخَرِّمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «رَاصُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا، وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَعْنَاقِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيَاطِينَ تَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصَّفِّ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذَفُ»

1. Worshippers should move close to one another to the extent possible. 2. No gap should be allowed to remain between the worshippers, otherwise it will provide an opportunity for the Satan (Shaitân) to come and stand alongside the people in the rows. This means that he will create disharmony and distance among them. The manifest affects the hidden too. And Allâh knows best!
